Teddy's HOME !

wow...what a trip. nearly 700 miles in 15 hours. john had to get back to work so we didn't spend the night, instead we got up tuesday morning at 3 o'clock and we rolled.what a day. we will never forget this day in more ways than one. we headed into santa barbara from the cachuma pass at 4:30 in the morning. as we came down the pass it felt like you were in an airplane at night. the city looked beautiful..all the lights were on and you could see the stars out over the pacific ocean...then we got on the 101 freeway and headed for los angeles...on to riverside...into the desert to a town called anza...it is at the edge of the mojave desert...and now it is 9 in the morning..6 hours in the car...and we come to a dirt road...more like a riverbed really,we had to drive so slowi could have walked faster...and it was a ways to go..and finally we see it...way out there in no man's land..valeries...we had called her before we hit the dirt road and she said she would meet us on the porch..and there she was..holding my sweet TEDDY..and of coarse i started sobbing...like a baby when i first saw him..then john is crying, then valerie...i asked her if the others are this bad..she said, "usually not, but one lady did drop to her knees." we all got a laugh out of that....valerie gave him a bath and we met the parents and his sisters...and it seemed strange, but we took him and left. we all hugged good-bye and i told her i would be in touch. already sent her pictures and she loved that.

so we were all HUNGRY ! in southern california there is a fast food place called "In and Out Burger" they are everywhere and JOHN LOVES them. turns out so does TEDDY. we opened that bag and he perked right up. so his first meal with us was an "IN and Out Burger".i was worried he would get sick, but valerie fed him meat..and he was fine. BUDDY LOVED McDonalds double cheeseburgers..so it looks like we have another burger boy!

coming into L.A. we hit rain and TRAFFIC...what's the deal..it's only 2:30 in the afternoon. Lakers play-off games were last night at The Staples Center... (that picture in the rain is of los angeles yesterday afternoon)......so that explained all the news trucks and helicopters. then stalled to a dead stop in traffic. unfortunelty it was a bad accident. we had a couple of close calls ourselves. that L.A. traffic is unreal. but we made it HOME...and we are IN LOVE...he is just a doll. so sweet. cutest personality.and his tail is ALWAYS curled all the way up and is wagging. he slept with us in the bed..no problem and even went on a Home Depot run this afternoon. and he did not go unoticed.everyone wanted to see him..asking is that a Teddy Bear..well, as a matter of fact, yes he is. He is our TEDDY...and he couldn't be more loved !

Oh, and see the little white star on his chest? that's his BUDDY star.

I am so happy for you! He's adorable and I love that "Buddy Star" --makes him even more special! My little rescue wire haired Jack Russell Terrier is slowly coming around. She loves me, but is suspicious of my hubby--even growls at him and has snapped at him out of fear. She isn't doing it as much, but we can tell that she has been kicked at, because she sometimes cowers and growls when hubby enters the room. At other times she is prancing up on his leg begging to be petted. It is sure frustrating, but we are treating her with kindness and hoping she adjusts. I know that Teddy will help heal your heart.Hugs, V

Oh, Happy, HAPPY Day!!! I'm so relieved to hear that you made it there and back home safely!What an adventure for such a little guy, but he seems to know that he has found his perfect home, and is fitting right in. He has already found his way into your hearts, and it won't be long before he has you wrapped around that cute little furry paw! lolNo need to deny it. .they all do it, and we are all willing victims. I'm as bad or worse than anyone. lol

Ok, so there are tears in my eyes. So happy for all of you. Gonna go gave the Lab a big scratch. Love to you. ( an aside just passed on a sunshine award to you, don't fear you have to do anything about it, it just wouldn't be right not to mention you. Jane and Nika

Oh my!!! How spoiled is he going to be!!! As a Vet. Asst. I have to scold you for the hamburger. The MEAT isn't bad if you don't have all the fat and the cheese and the fixin's, OK I'll stop! I am glad he had a great ride! SO happy the you had him to hold on your jam instead of wanting to get to him! He is adorable and I am so happy for you all!Hugs, Lisa

Sending love and all the best wishes to dear Kary, Teddy and Buddy in heaven because love never dies ! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

You made tears in my eyes, I almost cried when we picked up our dogs too. I am sure you`ll give Teddy a wonderful home. I`m so glad you got a new dog to love.He looks adorable. I hope you will tell us more about Teddy. Good luck :)

Awwwwww, look at that little bundle of love. What a sweet, benevolent, cuddly being! I am so happy for you and John. The beginning of a new era.I've missed you Kary...so happy to be back in touch.Morwenna is bringing home a puppy tomorrow! A doggy just like Kiki, named Poppy. It's the time of puppies and apple blossoms...XOXO

Congratulations Kary and John! I am so very pleased for you both and I am sure these exciting times ahead will bring you such joy and overwhelming love for your little Teddy.Love to you allMorwenna xoxo

I'm sorry I'm so Late getting here! My "day job" had kept me away from the computer...I've been THINKING about you on your trip to get Teddy. I always worry about everything! and I'm so relieved to find you all safe and sound!Gawd! What a cute little face! So adorable! I wish I was your neighbor (Or even better, that you were MINE) and my little Louie could play with your little Teddy! I swear that they are the funniest (and Smartest) little doggies!I"m SO HaPpY for you! and Teddy is so lucky to have you for a mommy!XOXO - Cindi & Louie

Oh, Kary, what joy you and your hubby must be feeling at having this cuddly bundle with you. Sounds like a totally harrowing trip to L. A. and beyond to get Teddy - but well worth it. Such a contract between SLO and L. A. I think there is even a huge difference between San Francisco and L. A. I never really enjoy going down there...it just has no real personality, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm glad Teddy is settling in happily and that you are a family again.

Welcome Teddy!!! What a sweet little bear!!! And little does he know, he's just joined a home filled with so much love! I'm so very happy for you (and Teddy!). I LOVE In & Out Burger. Maybe, some day, Luna and I (after all, Luna is a burger girl as well:)) will meet you and Teddy in CA for some In & Out Burger. Doesn't that sound wonderful??!!I've missed you and I'm SO very happy to see this good news. And Teddy is really adorable. Give him a nice BIG squeeze from me:).

Teddy is just absolutely adorable! Not only are you blessed to have him, but it is obvious that he is blessed to have you as parents. Gee, getting Teddy and In and Out all in one day, can it get any better than that? Kiss his little face for me.

i bet teddy gobbled that cheeseburger! thanks for the ecard! my BD was on the 23rd. we just had giant storms...finally we got some rain. freddy used to be scared to death of storms and would shake and cry when we had them. teddy just walks in the house, lays down and snores like a trucker!

Sweet greetings, hugs and kisses to you and Teddy from Frog Hollow Farm! I'm so happy for you Kary, and Teddy is just the sweetest looking little puppy. Best of luck and many, many years of happiness! Ciao, bella!

Oh Sweetie, your Teddy is an angel. I just can't get over how cute and sweet he is! I am so happy for you, I know you have gone through a very hard time and Teddy will help mend your broken heart. We have 5 dogs and just love them so much, they complete our lives...but you are a dog lover and already know that :)Best wishes with your new baby, he is a dollxoxoBunny
